  • This is MODERN telemark skiing with high, stiff, plastic boots..

    They look the part, but their center of gravity reveals it all...

  • @olaffer These scenes are taken from a film made by the Norwegian TV service NRK about the life of Sondre Norheim which was made in 1970 - I'm pretty certain modern plastic telemark boots hadn't been invented then! ;)
